Jamey Turner often performs to large crowds in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, a short drive from Washington, D.C. You can find Turner playing an unusual musical instrument, the glass harp, near Alexandria’s historic waterfront. A glass harp is made up of different sized stemmed drinking glasses, each filled with water. Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses. By doing so, each glass makes a different musical sound. Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear. They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations. Nicole Schwarss is a visitor from Germany. “I think it’s fantastic. I’ve never heard something like this before,” she said. Jamey Turner is 78 years old. He says he has been playing the glass harp for 50 years.
